Then & Now: Life After AUDC (with Jordyn Jones)

Author: Abby Lee Miller May 6, 2026 Duration: 1:13:36

This week on the podcast, Abby is joined by dancer, singer, actress, and social media star Jordyn Jones for a full-circle conversation about her journey from competitive dance prodigy to multi-talented entertainer. Jordyn reflects on how she first connected with Abby and earned her spot on Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition, sharing what it was like stepping into such an intense environment at a young age and the lessons she still carries with her today. From unforgettable routines and behind-the-scenes memories fans never got to see, to discussing whether she ever considered joining the ALDC on Dance Moms, this episode dives deep into one of the most memorable eras of Abby’s television career.


Jordyn also opens up about transitioning beyond the world of competitive dance and building a successful career in music, acting, and social media while navigating the pressure of reinventing herself after reality TV. She shares the accomplishments she’s most proud of, the challenges of creating her own brand, the friendships she’s maintained from the dance world, and what advice she would give her younger self during the competition days. Plus, Abby and Jordyn answer fan questions from the ALDC Elites on Patreon and discuss whether they’d ever team up again for a future television or special project.

In Leave It On The Dance Floor, Abby Lee Miller pulls back the curtain on the intense, glittering, and often unforgiving world that made her a legend. This isn't just a recollection of trophies and titles; it's a raw conversation about the culture that shapes entertainment. Drawing from a lifetime of training dancers who now dominate Broadway, major films, and television, Abby dissects the real stories behind the scenes-the discipline, the drama, and the dedication required to make it. Each episode feels like a backstage pass, blending sharp commentary on today's TV and film landscape with personal anecdotes from building an empire. You'll hear unfiltered perspectives on how dance competitions forge resilience, what it truly takes to transition from the studio to the spotlight, and why the lessons learned in a rehearsal room apply far beyond it. For anyone fascinated by the mechanics of fame, the artistry of performance, or the sheer force of will it takes to succeed, this podcast offers a masterclass from the most unapologetic teacher in the game. Tune in for stories you won't get anywhere else, told with the signature bluntness that only Abby Lee Miller can deliver.
